I’ve wanted to post a little more about Nicky’s graduation for the sake of memory and documentation of life’s big events, but I don’t really know what to say about it.
We went to a big arena. It was long and boring (like graduations are).
That’s it, I guess.
People keep asking me how I’m doing, and honestly, by the time graduation rolled around, I was more than ready for it. Not a tear to shed over Nicky being done with high school! I’m a little more emotional that he will be leaving on a mission, but even then, I’m ready for it.
It’s time for this boy to enter the next phase of life. I think I’d be more emotional if he were going away for college. I feel like that’s scarier. Instead, he’s going to a little island where he will have a 10:00 curfew every night, no access to instagram, a weekly phone call to his mom and dad, and his friends can’t track his location anymore. It’s everything I could ask for!

So I can’t say we were surprised when Nicky opened his Diploma of Merit and found this:
